I have time to work on this again. I'm using ssh -X to log on to the 
MythTV machine named Jetway. Here's what I get when I try to run 
mythtv-setup:

rsteff at Jetway:~$ mythtv-setup
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be 
insecure.
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using

Assuming I need to supply a password I tried:

rsteff at Jetway:~$ mythtv-setup mythtv
mysql: [Warning] Using a password on the command line interface can be 
insecure.
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'mythtv'@'localhost' (using

rsteff at Jetway:~$

A dialog box popped up asking if I wanted to start the mythtv backend? I 
said no.
A dialog box popped up asking if I wanted to run mythfilldatabase? I 
said no.

Using the mysql monitor I looked at the user table. Should there be a 
user mythtv?

mysql> select username from users;
+----------+
| username |
+----------+
| admin    |
+----------+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql>

I'm at a loss, here. What do I do next?

Does the fact that I'm using Ubuntu MATE make any difference?

Thanks.
